He waited to see if Dabi would follow through and burn him to death. But he didn't. Apparently, this was merely a warning.
There was no fear in Maul. If Dabi had been able to produce lightning, that would have been a different story, but as it was an elemental attack like fire wasn't going to produce that bone-deep terror within Maul that he'd never fully be rid of. So the only thing on his face was a look of anger, impotent rage that he couldn't retaliate against the man. Never mind that Maul had started this whole thing with his threats. He itched not to just lie down and take it.]
If you want to start something, go right ahead. Otherwise, I am hungry and want food.
[He waited. He was certain his brain would last the scant seconds it would take to snao Dabi's neck with the Force even if he was lit on fire. So he didn't move, every muscle tense, ready to act if Dabi did.]
no subject
but instead, maul keeps his cool despite his anger. revenge could easily become a mobius strip, neverending paybacks until someone finally gave up. though dabi will hold maul started it with the threat. even if he'd been the one to tauntingly invite that bite out of his throat. which turned into a laser sword instead. (ya liar, maul.)
at the same time, perhaps this was a mutual show of respect. considering dabi didn't blast him in the back, he was instead revealing some of what he could do to someone who wasn't dying because of it. hardly the normal result of unleashing his quirk. fortunately, no lightning. his quirk's all about fire.
there's a brief twitch upward at the corner of his mouth, staples tugging at his flesh.]
Ya started it.
[a grown man and still tossing a childish petulance in response. but maul's lack of fear and his controlled retort work in his favor and the flames on dabi's body burn out in a flash. though instead of dismissing the fiery circle around them, he blasts another flamethrower in front of him, punching a hole through the ring and leaving a blackened, glassy path several feet down the beach.]
Ya never did tell me what that staff thing was.
[dabi slips his arm off of maul's shoulder and walks through the opening in the fire, emerging on the beach and stretching his arms over his head as a breeze flaps his coat tails around his legs. almost like he hadn't just threatened the man. if maul's picking up details, he'll probably notice that while dabi summoned the fire, he isn't... putting it out. by choice or not is up to maul's mind to question.]
no subject
He waited a moment or two, not following Dabi as he walked out of the circle. Instead, Maul as ever the drama queen, backed up a few scant steps and then made a Force-assisted leap that let him sail right over the ring of fire and land right next to Dabi. Yep, Maul was a showoff.]
It is called a lightsaber. The preferred weapon of Sith and Jedi alike.
[He watched as the fire continued to burn without any signs of dying down. Hmmm, interesting that Dabi wasn't trying to. Could he? Something as destructive as the element of fire wasn't easily put out once started. Something to give Maul food for thought.]
no subject
what's he planning on doing? picking up the proverbial ball in the court to fire back? because if maul's ready to fight, dabi's easily ignited, despite his usual cool and aloof character... apparently not? he momentarily tenses, fingers on one hand clawing in preparation to heave another burst of flame when that dark figure bursts from the upper licks of the fire wall.
an assault from above?
... whump.
nope. just grandstanding. the scarred man lowers his hand and slips it into his pocket instead, both of them sheathed this time. maul even stuck the landing. someone likes the attention.]
Showoff.
[the word's almost a purr of amusement, floating out cool on his tongue amid a tiny smirk. he turns and moves down the beach again, keeping to the side of the glass trail his second burst of flame left behind. there's no further animosity towards maul, having made his point clear enough. dabi feels like he learned a good deal about the other man today.]
A lightsaber. What is it, concentrated heat or light?
no subject
Always and eternally.
[Maul knew himself well enough to know he was the biggest drama queen and always wanted all the attention focused on him at all times. Whether that attention was good or bad was something he frankly didn't care about. That was how he'd become one of the most notorious Sleepers in Trench.]
Neither. It's plasma produced through the concentrated focus of a kyber crystal.
we can wrap on their conversation whenver ya like~
[in all honesty, dabi simply wants to see what kind of reaction he gets from the zabrak by pushing some different buttons. still, maul's got a good attitude and his companionship's something the villain finds he wouldn't mind keeping around. rare, but it happens. doesn't mean he won't be a shit.
unless dabi was actively going for that spotlight, he had no problem with other people taking center stage and hogging the attention. that's called a distraction, and he can use it well.]
Oh.
[right. that was his second guess. he swears.]
Plasma like the sun or somethin else? Guessin the crystal comes from your world.
👍
It’s a gift.
[Maul could engage what little charge he possessed with people on rare occasions. He wasn’t good at turning on charm the way his master did but that was mostly because he’d never been taught.]
Plasma like plasma. [He said it impatiently] I can’t explain how it works if you don’t have that substance in your own world.
[He’d never thought to question whether other worlds had plasma or not, though given no one else wielded lightsabers in Trench besides the Force users, perhaps that should have been obvious from the start.]
no subject
Lucky you.
[charm wasn't a good tool against the burned villain, since he usually never trusted it even if he reciprocated it with his own sarcastic callousness. he could be charming too, and given the monster he is, that makes him distrustful of other people doing the same. maul at least has a good charm that dabi finds himself kind of liking.
the zabrak's a decent person, all things considered.]
We got plasma in our world, but the only two kinds I know of are the shit the sun's made of and the stuff in your blood. The rest is science theory or fiction.
[the latter most of that list is what dabi's slotting maul's lightsaber under: plasma as a kind of energy.]
